Jin was surprised to hear that the house he had lived in 400 years ago was still the Nido family.

"Undoubtedly, the head of the family is the one who is descended from Jin and Elsa."

It seems that the family was passed down like the second son of the third son of the second son ...... of the third son, and now he has been given the title of Count of the Shoro Kingdom.

"The Counts of Nido. ......"

Jin smiled, "I don't get it at all.

"Well, we're not here to see the house today.

Jin had no intention of interfering as long as the offspring lived happily.

"Well then, let's look around the store.

Yes!

Yes!

Rubina and Shu replied cheerfully to Jin's words.

"...... By the way, have you two ever shopped before?　There's ......, isn't there? Onogoro Island had shopkeepers, too."

Even if it was a store run by automata, Jin thought,.......

"No, I've never shopped there.

Jin was surprised to hear Shu say, "No, I've never shopped there before.

"What?

I don't need money on Onogoro Island."

Rubina also explained in a few words.

"...... Uh, you mean you can get things for free on Onogoro Island?"

"That's right."

Shu's words made Jin want to hold his head in his hands.

(......Testa, Helente, and Direk are all strongly influenced by the origin (......).

It is said that the Origin left everything to their followers on their home planet Hale, and they were absorbed in their hobbies.

Jin imagined that this was also reflected in the care of the inhabitants of Onogoro Island.

Marikka probably did not interfere in such a detailed manner.

"Rhodes, we can still use this money, right?"

Jin pulled a coin out of his pocket and showed it to her.

"Yes, no problem. The unit of currency is still the toll, and I have heard that the value of the money has hardly changed at all.

Jin wondered if that was true.

Not being an economist, Jin could not decide whether it is good or bad from an economics point of view that the prices of commodities have remained unchanged for 400 years (well, economics of the earth).

(Well, I guess we can't apply the economics of the earth as it is.)

The biggest difference between Earth and Ars is energy.

Jin guessed in his layman's way that a simple comparison would not be possible since the Ars world has a free energy source called free magic element (ether), which is free of charge and has no fear of depletion.

Also, the existence of magic cannot be ignored.

Combining the two, the existence of golems would give them an unparalleled advantage over Earth in terms of labor power.

"Well, as long as it's useful, it's good enough."

He brought five gold coins, or 50,000 tol (about 500,000 yen). Reiko also has about 200,000 Tall, which should be enough to buy most things.

However, Jin, who had been thinking of giving her a gold coin each as pocket money, changed his mind when he heard that she had never been shopping before.

"Let me know if there is anything you want, both of you. If it's something you can afford, I'll buy it for you."

"Thank you!"

"Thank you, Mr. Jin!"

Seeing the two happy faces, Jin felt relieved in his heart that he had made the right decision.

The group arrived at a shopping street.

The group arrived at a shopping street.

"Wow!

Rubina's eyes light up at the jewelry store.

"Wow!"

Shu is glued to the samples at the arms shop.

Jin's eyes were drawn to the show windows of a clothing store.

(Is this what's in fashion now? ......)

The design of the shop was somewhat Showa-era style, or something that Jin had seen before.

For example, the skirt length. As far as Jin knows, almost all skirts were long 400 years ago, but some of them here are knee-length.

Or patterns. Patterns, which were rarely used before, are used. However, most of them are checkered or polka-dot patterns. This may be the reason for the Showa taste.

The clothes worn by Rubina are almost the same as they were 400 years ago. The quality of the clothes is of the highest quality, but the designs are somewhat old-fashioned.

On the other hand, the men's clothes were almost the same as those worn by Jin, Shu, and Rhodes.

So Jin thought of buying some clothes for Rubina, but she did not pay attention to the clothes and went into the accessory shop.

"Well, I don't care if it's an accessory.

Jin followed her into the store,

"Ah, this stone looks so hard!

Rubina was looking at a sapphire saying, "Well, sapphires are Mohs 9, so they are hard.

"Well, sapphires have a Mohs hardness of 9, so they are hard.

Jin agreed.

"But this one is even harder.

Then he pointed to the pink diamonds next to the three sapphires.

"Oh, that's right," he said.

"It has a Mohs hardness of 10."

Jin noticed something strange.

"I thought you were looking at ...... accessories."

"What?"

Rubina was puzzled.

"...... Well, that's all right. Let's go next time."

"What?　......Yeah."

Rubina, not quite sure what to think, followed Jin's lead and walked out of the store.

"Ah, Jin-sama, there seems to be a magic tool shop over there that I'd like to visit.

Shu mentioned that he wanted to go there.

"Oh, I'd like to go there!

Rubina agreed.

"...... but don't say anything critical about the selection."

Looking at Rubina's face, Jin felt like giving her a warning.

And then came the magic tool shop.

"Wow ......"

Various kinds of magic tools are lined up.

Various old and new magic tools are fun to look at.

"Oh!"

Among them, there was a familiar trademark.

Craft Queen Workshop. ...... Rubina, this is a product of a workshop related to Rubina's ancestor, Beena.

"Really? Really?"

"Really?" "Yeah. Look at it. This is the mark.

"Oh, this is ......."

It must be a sign of trust, for the magic tool was one or two levels higher in quality than the others.

"That's what I'm talking about."

It seems that rather than ...... founded by Bina, it is better to call it a workshop operated with Bina as an honorary advisor.

While Bina personally engraved the initials <> in a broken letter, the design of the Craft Queen workshop is a combination of C and Q.

Thinking of this, Jin wished he could take Rubina to the Blue Land someday.

Jin and his group returned safely to the residence of LeGray, the Minister of Magical Arts and Technology, without major trouble.
